Your POV:

We were flying for minutes and then I realised, we're dropping, "We're dropping!" Ron yells, "You don't say!" I replied, "I say we jump!" Harry answers, "When?" Hermione ask, "Now!" and we jumped off the dragon, hitting the water, I swam up the surface and swam towards the shore, "He knows. You-Know-Who. He knows we broke into Gringotts. He knows what we took, and he knows we're hunting Horcruxes" Harry said as we walk up the mountain, "How did he know?" Hermione ask.

"I saw him" Harry answered, "You let him in? Harry, you can't do that!" Hermione replied, "Hermione, I can't always help it! Well, maybe I can, I don't know!" Harry responds, "Never mind! What happened?" I ask as the boys change their clothes as me and Hermione take off our coats and she handed me a towel, I wrap it around me, "Well, he's angry and scared too. He knows, if we find and destroy all the Horcruxes, we'll be able to kill him. I reckon he'll stop at nothing to make sure we don't find the rest. And there's more. One of them is at Hogwarts" Harry explains as they change.

"What? You saw it?" me and Hermione ask, "I saw the castle. And Rowena Ravenclaw. It must have something to do with her. We have to go there, now!" Harry replied, "Well, we can't do that!" I answered, "We've got to plan, we've got to figure it out!" Hermione added, "Hermione, when have any of our plans ever actually worked?" Harry ask, "We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose" Ron agrees, "He's right! Only (Y/n)'s plan works" Harry said, "But the one I was thinking of was dangerous so there's no choice" I replied.

"And one problem.. Snape's Headmaster now, we can't just move freely from the front door!" Hermione added, "Well, we'll go to Hogsmeade, to Honeydukes. Take the secret passage in the cellar.It's... There's something wrong with him. It's like, you know, in the past... I've always been able to follow his thoughts. And now everything just feels disconnected" Harry responds, "Maybe it's the Horcruxes. Maybe he's getting weaker. Maybe he's dying!" Hermione replied, "No! No, it's.. it's more like he's wounded. If anything, he feels more dangerous" Harry said.

Me and Hermione finally changed our clothes, away from tje boys and we apparated at Hogsmeade then there's an alarm, like the cats, it's irritating, "Right here. Come on! Search everywhere. Go, move! Faster!" we heard so we hid behind the clothed table, we heard some of the clothed tables are being lifted then the alarm goes on again and they finally got away, we continue moving and go down an alley, there's a gate but it was locked, "In here, Potter!" I heard someone calls and Harry got in the house which me, Hermione, and Ron followed.

We got in the house, I look around and seems cozy until I see a mirror with Harry's face on, "Did you look at him?" Ron ask Hermione as I examine the mirror, "For a second I thought that was-" Hermione cuts herself off, "I know. Dumbledore!" Ron said and from the corner of my eye, I saw Hermione approach beside me.

"Harry? I can see you in this" Hermione said then Harry came between us until I realised something when Harry shows the piece of mirror in his hand, "That's it! It's the two way mirror!" I said, "Bloody fools, what are you thinking coming here? Have you any idea how dangerous it is?" the man that looks like Dumbledore lectures, "You're Aberforth, Dumbledore's brother. It's you who I've been seeing in here. You're the one who sent Dobby" Harry said as the man, Aberforth, look through the window.

"Why've you left him?" he ask as he still look though the window, "He's dead" Harry answered, "Sorry to hear it. I liked that elf" Aberforth respond, "Who gave that to you?" Harry ask, Aberforth look at him, "The mirror? Mundungus Fletcher, about a year ago" he answered, "Dung had no right selling that to you. It belongs to-" Harry was cutted, "Sirius. Albus told me. He also told me you'd likely be hacked off, if you ever found that I had it. But, ask yourself; Where would you be if I didn't?" Aberforth walk towards Harry.

"Do you have any others much?" he ask, "From the Order?" Harry ask back, "The Order has finished. You-Know-Who has won, anyone who says otherwise is killing themselves" Aberforth answered as he put a tray with some butterbeers and breads on, me, Hermione, and Ron get some of the bread and eat it, "We need to get into Hogwarts, tonight. Dumbledore gave us a job to do" Harry said, "Did he now? Nice job? Easy?" Aberforth ask as he put some whiskey in his cup.

"We've been hunting Horcruxes. We think the last one's inside the castle. But we'll need your help getting in" Harry answered, "Which job my brother has given you, it's a suicide mission. Do yourself a favor, boy. Go home! Live a little longer. Dumbledore trusted me to see this through. What makes you think you can trust him? What makes you think you can believe anything my brother told you? And in all the time you knew him. Did he ever mention my name? Did he ever mentioned hers?" Aberforth ask, walking towards Harry as me, Hermione, and Ron finished up our food.

"Why should he-" Harry was cutted again, "Keep secrets? You tell me?" Aberforth finished, "I trusted him" Harry answered, "That's the boy's answer. A boy goes chasing Horcruxes is on the word of a man who wouldn't even tell him where to start. You're lying! Not just on me, it doesn't matter. To yourself as well. That's what a fool does. You don't strike me as a fool, Harry Potter! So, I ask you again, there must be a reason" Abeforth replied.

"I'm not interested in what happened between you and your brother. I don't care that you've given up. I trusted the man I knew. We need to get into the castle tonight" Harry replied, "You know what to do" Abeforth said to the painting and the woman nods then left, "Where have you sent her?" Hermione ask, "You'll see. Soon enough" Abeforth answered as he walk away and as me, Hermione, and Ron walk near Harry.

"That's your sister, Ariana. Isn't it?" Hermione ask, "She died very young, didn't she?" I added, "My brother sacrificed many things, Mr. Potter. On his journey to find power. Including Ariana. And she was devoted to him. He gave her everything. But time" Abeforth answered and was about to leave, "Thank you, Mr. Dumbledore" me and Hermione thanked and he walk away, "He did save our lives twice! Kept an eye on us on that mirror" Hermione said, breaking the silence.

"That doesn't seem like someone who's given up" Ron replied, "She's coming back" I said, looking at the painting, "What's that with her?" Ron ask as the woman, Arianna, came with someone behind her and the painting's frame move and reveals, "Neville" me and Harry said, "How you look. Like hell, I reckon. But this is nothing. Seamus is worse. Hey, Ab! We've got a couple more coming through" Neville said.

We are now walking in a tunnel where Neville had walk though and having conversations, "Don't remember this on the Marauder's Map" Harry said, "That's because it never existed till now. The seven secret passages were sealed off, before the start of the year. This is the only way in or out, now. The grounds are crawled with Death Eaters and Dementors" Neville answered, "How about Mr.Snape as Headmaster?" Ron ask, "Hardly ever seen. It's the Carrows who's watching out for" Neville answered.

"Carrows?" I ask, "Yeah. Brother and sister. Incharge of discipline. They like punishment, the Carrows" Neville answered as we're midway walking through the tunnel, "They did that to you? Why?" Hermione ask, "Today's Dark Arts lesson was practicing the Cruciatus curse. On first years. I refused. Hogwarts has changed" Neville explains.

Finally we reached the end of the tunnel, in front of a door, "Let's have a bit of fun, shall we?" Neville said and the door opened, "Hey, you lots! It's for your surprise" Neville announces to the others, "No more about Aberforth's cook's gonna help. We'll be surprised if it's just digested" I heard Seamus replied, 'This is going to be a long night' I thought.
